Warwick Curtis: Billy Davies would be a good choice. You might have to put up with a few tantrums here and there, but the passion he showed at my club PNE was everything you want from a manager.

Nik McCluskey: Billy Davies please. Hasn't he got unfinished business in the Midlands?

It may have been 41 degrees at Wimbledon yesterday but a few miles east tomorrow West Ham will begin their season with a Europa League qualifying round match against FC Lusitans of Andorra.

James Tomkins will captain the Hammers and he told a news conference: "Not many teams can sell out a Europa League fixture, but we have and that's excellent. It shows the passion our fans have for Europe.

"Normally I'd be on holiday, but I'd much rather be playing. To be back from injury is fantastic and I can't wait to get going again."

The All England Club has confirmed that Wimbledon will be joining the national minute's silence planned for midday on Friday in memory of the victims of the Tunisia attack.

Richard Lewis, chief executive of the All England Club, said; "Wimbledon will be asking all those in the grounds at the time to observe the silence out of respect to the victims in Tunisia and their families."

On that day play on the outside courts will start at 12.15 BST instead of 11.30.

Monaco has signed France Under-21 attacking midfielder Fares Bahlouli from Lyon on a five-year contract.

The highly rated Bahlouli was courted by other European clubs - including Premier League teams - but opted to sat in his homeland.

"Allow me to introduce you to Tom Moore. Not heard of him? 23-year-old Essex seam bowler, picked up from club side Brentwood last year, playing his first game of the summer.

"Moore has just removed Chris Rogers and Michael Clarke in successive balls, halting an all-too-easy Australia start. Rogers may have got a bad decision to be caught behind for 21 before captain Clarke was brilliantly held at leg gully by Ryan ten Doeschate for a golden duck.

"So 60-0 became 60-2 and has now been pushed to 69-2 by the impressive David Warner and his new partner Adam Voges. Meltingly hot in Chelmsford."

Scott Johnson: Funny how people said we should stick with Allardyce but now he's linked with their teams they don't want him.

Ted Baigent: If you want quick football at Leicester, Gus Poyet is definitely not the right manager. He plays at snail's pace.

Neil Warnock was the Crystal Palace manager when Nathaniel Clyne made his professional debut in 2008.

He told Sportsworld on the BBC World Service that Clyne is "the best defensive right back that we've got in England", the move "won't faze him" and Liverpool is the "ideal" club for the player.

"Defensive wise he sticks to you, he's like a rash when he marks these top players," said Warnock.

"I think it's a position that Liverpool have lacked in the last couple of years and I think he'll revel in it. And eventually Roy Hodgson will make him his number one. You can't tell me that Phil Jones is better than Clyne at right back."

Another Liverpool player paraded in the town this morning and Clyne, 24, who made 94 Premier League appearances for Southampton, said: "I'm delighted and it's a dream move for me to come here and play for such a big club like Liverpool with all of its history."

But here's one to add to that list, Liverpool complete the signing of Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £12.5m, on a "long-term" contract, thought to be five years.

Here's a round-up of what has happened so far today in the sporting world:

Nigel Pearson's sacking by Leicester was linked to his son's role in a racist sex tape in the owners' homeland of Thailand, the BBC has learned.

Three-time Champions League winner Samuel Eto'o has joined promoted Turkish top-flight side Antalyaspor, who are reported to be close to signing World Cup winner Ronaldinho.

Newly promoted Bournemouth have signed central defender Sylvain Distin on a free transfer.

New Everton signing Gerard Deulofeu admits he turned down offers from other clubs to return to Goodison Park after a successful loan spell in the 2013-14 season.

"I really enjoyed my time here," he said. "I felt loved by the Evertonians and I was surrounded by really good team-mates. I'm very happy to be back.

"Of course there were other options but I always said right from the start that I wanted to come back to Everton."

Ben Wood: Fergie is coming out of retirement to get them in the top four.

In your dreams, Ben...

Anne Hogarth: Neil Lennon - made the move from Scotland, started in championship to find his feet and could now move to Prem. Just saying.

Christopher Hatton: John Carver. Reach for the stars.

Angus McGillivray: I agree they should not be sacking Pearson - there aren't many top-flight managers but there are lots of experienced players who'd like a shot at management.

Another new kit - inspired by a very old one. No it's not Manchester United - or Newton Neath - this is the new Norwich home shirt, said to be inspired by 80 years at Carrow Road,

To mark the 80th anniversary, the club has taken inspiration from the 'half and half' home kit which was adopted in 1927 and worn for a total of 20 years.

Fans would have had time to get used to it those days, what do present day Canaries make of this one? Please let us know at #bbcsportsday

Sylvain Distin has joined Bournemouth - and they are getting a man who is pretty experienced when it comes to Premier league football...

The ambitious club also stated they would recruit another "big name" and "set the world on fire".

"I have signed a three-year contract," said former Barcelona, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Everton striker Eto'o, 34.

The Cameroonian enjoyed much of his success at Barca from 2004 to 2009.

Gerrard has moved to the US as he prepares to begin life as an LA Galaxy player.

Wasserman, by the way, was a studio executive, who was given the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974 by Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

Veteran forward Kevin Davies has taken to twitter to announce that he is not being offered a new deal by Preston North End.

The 38-year-old, who won his only England cap in 2010, joined North End in 2013 on a two-year deal after 10 years at Bolton Wanderers.

He made 43 appearances last season as Preston were promoted to the Championship and along the way he netted his 150th career goal.

Billy Dolton: I think its a crazy time to sack Nigel Pearson right in the middle of the summer transfer window when Leicester are in the process of buying new players and i think Pearson should be re-instated as manager.

Stuart Cox: Big Sam. Change their style of play from entertaining to very dull then see why West Ham wanted to change a mentality of "just being" and not believing. Get a manager to inspire the players more and start upsetting the usual suspects in this league.

Damien Morris: I feel the new Leicester boss should be Michael Laudrup. He plays a brand of football that would really excite all the fans.

Alex Loukopoulos: Sam Allardyce for me. If Leicester want Premier League survival they should hire him. Don't think Dyche will leave Burnley.
